This horrific psychological thriller is very well done. It stays on your mind and makes you think about twisted mother and son relationships, the resulting decline of the already fragile young mind, the corrupt politics, the complex characters, their heartfelt motivations pulls me into watching it while I want it to be ended.

I thought this series had promise but quickly degenerated into a predictable and silly horror genre. I think bringing in Norman's brother, who is a bad actor, was a really poor decision. He just doesn't belong in this show and pulls it down with his presence. Had to fast forward then eventually became unwatchable. Not recommended.
